Ever thought you'd hear from a Nigerian Brit, fluent in Swedish, with a Jamaican wife? Meet broadcaster extraordinaire Dotun Adebayo.
Host and European football expert Andy Brassell goes back to the source for this week's Ramble Meets, hooking up with the great Dotun Adebayo MBE - writer, presenter, publisher and longtime ringmaster of BBC Five Live's World Football Phone-In. It was in the hallowed halls where Mr Brassell cut his broadcasting teeth alongside our guest and the legendary Tim Vickery.
They discuss how football helped Dotun integrate into British society when he arrived from Nigeria as a six-year-old, surviving Swedish Sunday league and Dotun's thoughts on the rise of racist behaviour in European grounds. Plus, of course, they relive some of their standout WFPI moments together ("MR ANDY BRASSELL!").
Recommended even for those with no knowledge about soccer. Have a listen, have a laugh.
